It's that time again, retrogeeks... the RetroChallenge Winter Warm-up* is officially on for Jan 1/09.

For those new to the RetroChallenge, it's a chance for retrocomputing enthusiasts to show off their skills (or lack thereof)... it's an excuse to forego the complexities of modern technology and relive the glory days of 8-bit processors and monochrome monitors... an opportunity to trade in the iPhone for a Newton... a chance to impress the ladies with your stunning command of FORTRAN... you get the idea.

Unlike the Summer* RetroChallenge the WInter Warm-up is a less competitive event... think of it as a show-and-tell for retrogeeks. If it sounds like your cup of tea, be sure to check out the rules (such as they are) and announce your intention to enter.
